A winter wonderland wedding is not complete without a proper backdrop for the guests. These oversized snowflakes create the perfect amount of fun for a festive occasion!
I created these wintery props in the same manner as smaller snowflakes made from a piece of office paper, but on a larger scale. Try grouping them in several layers for a truly magical effect.
Materials:
Large, thin sheet of paper (I used 19″x 25″)
Scissors
String
Tape
Downloadable Snowflake Patterns
Step 1: Create a square shape out of your rectangle paper by bringing up one corner to the opposite edge and creasing it.
Step 2: Cut the excess paper off leaving just a triangle.
Step 3: Fold the top edge down to the bottom right corner.
Step 4: Fold the left edge in half down the center of the top point.
Step 5: Bring the far right point to the opposite site and fold.
Step 6: Turn it over and cut along the new straight edge.
Step 7: This will leave the base from which you can apply any snowflake pattern with a pencil.
Step 8: Create a ton of snowflakes using the templates here. Note: these are just a few to choose from – you can repeat them over and over, or try your own!

My husband and I both love the snow and winter. In fact, we went to Alaska on our honeymoon!!! At my bridal shower, my bridal party made paper snowflakes to decorate and because i'm a big lyric person, they put a famous lyrics/saying in the center of each...thanks for the memories! That was 13 years ago :)
